June 2004: Play it As it Lays (Didion)

Many thanks to Kate for hosting us June 23 for our discussion of Play It As It Lays. All felt that Joan Didion's writing was evocative and skilled. Reaction to the characters was fairly universal distaste. We did note an interesting parallel with The Country of the Pointed Firs, in that location plays such an important part in both books. In truth, we actually didn't spend much time on the book before moving on to other topics of general interest.
